    5/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The evening started with the cacao ceremony, ohm meditation, listening to live sing and song writer. The cacao tasted amazing, like an angel peed on my tongue. I think they added sugar. Then the spectacle of the evening started: 2,5 hours of dancing. The rules are simple. No shoes. No alcohol/drugs. No talking. Only engaging/dancing with others with consent and there is a sign with your hands to "thankfully say no". It felt pretty out of my comfortzone to dance. It helped to close my eyes and connect with myself. After half an hour, I felt more comfortable and started to go on adventures on the dance floor. People are so friendly and caring. Some dance like I've never seen before. Intimidating and inspiring at the same time. Time flew and the evening ended before I realised. We ended the night with drinking unlimited free tea, and the people we befriended on the dance floor. We were allowed to talk again. Very energizing to share our personal journeys and how we all felt super connected with our bodies, destressed and a general feeling of bliss. I can recommend anyone to try it out. If you want to experience what's it's like to dance like nobody is watching. To feel liberated.

    Nice place, great music. Food quality is reasonable but amount varies a lot per dish so if you are hungry, make sure you ask before you order. Waitresses appeared to be rather stressed serving a group of around 50 people. People were allowed to smoke in the bar?!

    Beautiful magical place! Great to let yourself go with the music and reach a natural high. Great people and the ship atmosphere is amazing. Huge bonus: the sauna is working again :)

    I was not sure what to expect since this was my first ecstatic dance, but it was truly an incredible experience. I loved having a few hours where we got to just groove to the music, and the no phone policy is incredible (especially in this day and age), it makes you feel so much more comfortable to move knowing that no one can take a picture/video of you. All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly! I really enjoyed the fact that the venue has a few different areas to it, so you can more from a more or less crowded spot depending on your preference throughout the dance. Will definitely have to go again.

    Great ecstatic dances with two floors to dance on. They serve all you can eat homemade soup and bread for 5 euros. There’s also sauna and hot tub and couches where people can socialize. Highly recommend.

    Seriously the most magical and conscious boat in the world. Odessa is holding amazing ecstatic dance ceremonies 4 times a week. Different DJs on every ceremony, they serve vegan soup for only 5€, full bar with smoothies, coffees and vegan desserts. You can chill in the spacious chill area, enjoy the hotube and the sauna after the dance, jump in the IJ river and cool down with a swim, meet lots of conscious like minded people. They also host all kind of workshops and retreats; acro yoga, tantra, singing circles, different types of dancing or people come to express and share their talents and knowledge and love. For sure my favourite place in Amsterdam. 5/5 all the way!

    One of the best ecstatic experiences I've ever had. What a community, what a setting, and what amazing music. Great for first timers or long time lovers of dance.

    I saw the words “conscious vegan art ship” and I was sold. Come to Odessa to lose yourself to dance, meet curious souls, soak in the hot tub beneath the stars and sweat out your worries in the sauna. Free yogi tea and water, also on OneFit!

    I never had so much fun dancing. You gotta try this ecstatic dance thing at least once. They have super friendly people, and a hot tub and sauna where you can relax after dancing

    I have very nice evenings here. I feel free and connected at the same time. I get a warm feeling when I think of the Odessa.
